Chapter 67 [It’s not Chinese cabbage]
A burst of vitality shot out, and the lake suddenly parted. A figure from under the water was tightly locked by the vitality and was pulled up, and fell heavily to the shore.

This figure is clearly a little monster.
Just like the previous two monsters, they had gray messy hair that had been soaked under the lake and stuck to their heads. Their faces were ferocious, their facial features were distorted, and their mouths were grinning to reveal a mess of fangs.
It's just that he is thin, smaller than the previous two monsters, but he is about the same height as an ordinary child.
The little monster raised its head and struggled for a moment, bared its teeth at the old man and roared.
The old man squinted his eyes and watched, then slowly walked up and raised his right hand...
Snap!
A big slap wrapped in vitality hit the left side of the monster's face, and the monster immediately staggered to the right.
Snap!
Another big slap on the right cheek, and the monster staggered to the left.
When he raised his head again, the little monster stopped roaring, and there were a few finger marks on each cheek.
His eyes were much clearer.
Seeing the old man raise his hand again, the little monster immediately shrank into a ball, held his head in his hands and let out a fearful whimper.
"Well, you should be a family of three. Shankui living in groups is rare, and it seems that he has developed a little intelligence." The old man squinted his eyes and stared at the little Shankui: "The evil spirit is not weak, it seems It's a lot of killing. I should have killed you with one sword, but I happened to be refining a magic weapon that needs to be nourished with evil energy, so you can use it."
After pondering for a moment, the old man stretched out his hand, and a golden light penetrated the little Shankui's head. Immediately, his body started to tremble, and he rolled a few times on the ground. The bones in his body stretched and contracted, and the shape of his head began to change, and it even grew. The hair is gray and dusty.
Finally, it stopped and looked like a giant monkey lying on the ground.
The old man's voice was cold: "I keep this magic weapon in your spiritual consciousness, and absorb the evil energy from you every day. In ten years, your evil energy will be absorbed. It can be said that you are lucky enough to live for ten more years!" "
Well, the boy next door raised a demon cultivator, and my old man raised a giant monkey, so it’s not a loss of face.
After saying that, the old man reached out and grabbed the big horse monkey in his hand, and his body turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
A few minutes later, on the ground by the lake, the girl trembled, faintly woke up, and screamed first,
"Monster! Monster!!"
Then he was stunned and looked around.
I...where am I?

Before dawn, a black car slowly drove in from the forest road.
When they arrived at the edge of the mountain forest, the car stopped. Chu Keqing, who was wrapped in a woolen coat, got out of the car. He first looked up at the mountain forest under the dawn, and then took a gentle breath.
There was a trace of solemnity on her pretty face, and she whispered: "It smells of evil..."
"Zi Lao!" The assistant next to him has followed, holding the wooden box with both hands.
Chu Keqing took out his white jade compass and held it in one hand, then slowly walked towards the forest.
In the forest road, two police cars slowly drove out and then drove past Chu Keqin.
Chu Keqing frowned and watched the police car leave, then whispered: "The police have been here. Something must have happened here. Go and ask."
The assistant nodded and turned to make a call.
Chu Keqing stood on the edge of the forest, looked up at the forest, then used a compass in one hand and made a fortune in the other, quickly calculating something, and then used the aura technique to watch carefully. Suddenly he took a deep breath, bent down and walked into the forest. Got in.
"Zi Lao?" The assistant behind him was startled: "It's damp and cold in the forest, you..."
Chu Keqing waved his hand: "Please inquire quickly, and then come to me in the woods."
After saying that, she ignored the snow-white woolen coat on her body, which was wet by the dew on the treetops, and walked slowly into the forest.
In the middle of the night, Chu Keqing woke up from her dream last night. She was well versed in Taoism, her cultivation was not bad, and she had the blessing of aura, so she naturally felt the direction of the blood evil energy.
Although most of the blood-evil aura had dissipated when she discovered it, the remaining fluctuations of the evil aura still aroused her interest.
As a cultivator, how can you not see what happens when you encounter something like this?
Although it was still very dark in the forest at dawn, Chu Keqing was not afraid because of his cultivation. He walked slowly through the forest. He didn’t know how long he walked, but he actually walked through the forest and reached the wild lake in the mountain col. side.
"The evil spirit here is even stronger."
Chu Keqing frowned, glanced at the compass in his hand, and then fixed his eyes on the location of the lake.
The evil spirit gathered in the lake.
This place is not good... Chu Keqing shook his head.
From the perspective of the compass survey, the lake occupies the shady position in this mountain valley, which is the coldest place. If there is any evil spirit, it will flow to this position.
And because of the existence of the lake, when the evil spirit flows here, it will be locked by the water, and it will remain silted up over time. As time goes by, some indescribable strange things will inevitably happen.
She walked by the lake for a while, looking at the marks on the ground... someone had been here.
When he reached the edge of the forest, Chu Keqing's eyes lit up.
A small tree at the edge of the forest had been broken, as if it had been directly torn apart by some force. The trunk was torn apart. She took two steps inside and saw a tree falling down, as if it had been directly broken by some force. .
She stared at the trees, then reached over and pinched the damaged trunk.
The vitality spread all over her body, and she immediately felt the vitality surging on her fingertips, gently washing away the faint evil spirit stained on her fingertips.
It was like fire meeting fuel. The sudden change made Chu Keqing suddenly have a guess.
At this time, the phone rang, and she took it out of her pocket. It was the assistant calling. After Chu Keqing answered the call, he said calmly: "I am in the wild lake in the mountain col. Come and find me."
After saying that, she put down the phone and walked in the forest for a while, then turned out of the forest and continued to search around the lake.
The assistant arrived soon, but this time he drove over, entering the path from the forest road, and finally went around to the wild lake.
She saw Chu Keqing standing by the lake from afar. The assistant quickly got out of the car and walked over, but she was not alone. Another middle-aged man stepped out of the car, wearing a black leather jacket.
Chu Keqing saw this middle-aged man with a polite smile on his face. He walked over and said with a faint smile: "Director Wu, why did I alarm you?"
"Ms. Chu, you're welcome!" Director Wu shook hands with Chu Keqing, and then said with a smile: "When your assistant called, I happened to be nearby. When I heard you were here, I simply followed. Your assistant is here."
Director Wu is the official person in charge of the nearby scenic spot management, and he knows Chu Keqing.
Because there are several temples and Taoist temples in this scenic area, there are quite a few Taoist practitioners. During the holidays, they hold some rituals to attract tourists, and it is often inevitable to meet with Chu Keqing, a Jinling Mansion mystic. Deal with the biggest names in the world.
"Has Director Wu come to the scenic spot to work so early?" Chu Keqing asked.
"Hey!" Director Wu shook his head: "How could I work so hard? Something happened in the scenic spot in the middle of the night, and I came here before dawn."
The two of them were familiar with each other, and the matter was not complicated or required to be kept secret, so Director Wu just treated it as a casual conversation and explained the matter.
"The police received a call last night in the middle of the night. A girl said she was attacked in our scenic spot. The girl lost her mobile phone and ran out of the mountain alone. She ran out of the forest road and walked to the road before encountering a passing vehicle. Call the police after asking for help.
After the police arrived, they searched all over the mountains based on the girl's identification, but found nothing. "
When Chu Keqing heard this, he smiled slightly: "You really didn't find anything?"
Director Wu pouted: "It's strange, that girl said she encountered some kind of monster, some kind of long-haired monster with a big mouth and long arms and legs.
She also said that when she encountered a monster, the dog she brought fought with the monster to protect her and was bitten to death by the monster.
She ran out on her own, but ended up fainting by the lake for some reason - well, this was the lake. "
"Then what?"
“Then, the police searched the area for a long time but found nothing. They also mobilized the people on duty at our scenic area management office to go into the woods to search.
There is no monster.
However, we did see that some trees were damaged. Our old master who looked at the forest looked at them and said that they must have been hit by something like a wild boar.
As you know, the ecology has been getting better and better in recent years, and there have been more wild boars in this mountain. Didn't we hear news last year that wild boars ran down the mountain and into the city? "
Wild boar?
Chu Keqing thought of the damaged trees she saw in the woods, and she smiled softly: "Then what?"
“I did find the dog the girl was talking about.
Hey, that dog is pretty miserable too. When we found it, half of its body was left. According to what the girl said and the on-site survey, it should be her dog, a large dog, a husky.
We guessed that it was the girl who went into the mountains to paint and sketch. When she came home late, she encountered a wild boar that came out to look for food.
Her dog was killed by a wild boar and she ran away in fear.
As for what kind of monster it is, it is probably a conjecture created by people after being frightened. "
Conjectures... Chu Keqing smiled and said slowly without saying anything, "Well, people will indeed become confused and have conjectures after being frightened."
"Yes!" Director Wu nodded and sighed: "The girl was both unlucky and lucky. When a wild boar hurt someone, she didn't suffer any serious injuries. She was just frightened. She was lucky.
We are also lucky! If someone dies in the scenic area, we will not be able to survive the new year if we investigate and hold them accountable. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. "
With that said, Director Wu asked Chu Keqing why he came over so early.
Chu Keqing casually found an excuse, shook his head and said: "I have been uneasy these days and wanted to find a quiet place to meditate. I remembered that there are several temples and Taoist temples here, all with places to meditate or escape from the world, so I came here. Just take a look.”
Director Wu immediately smiled and said: "If Ms. Chu wants to come here to stay temporarily, we will definitely welcome you! You are a well-known figure in the Taoist sect of Jinling Mansion."
Chu Keqing smiled and said nothing - in order to make it easier for her to travel around the world, she had indeed adopted a Taoist identity.
After chatting with Director Wu for a few more words and declining Director Wu's invitation to sit in the management office, Chu Keqing asked his assistant to drive Director Wu back, but he stayed at the lake and continued walking.
She was more and more certain of one thing:
It was not a wild boar.
Gray hair, bloody mouth, full of fangs, long arms and legs, human-like shape.
Shan Kui!
Chu Keqing frowned... Shan Kui was rare, and even if there were any, they would generally avoid people...
"That's the problem with this lake. Has the evil spirit been infecting it for too long?"
Thinking of this wild lake, over the years, several daring people drowned almost every year.
This wild lake has existed for who knows how many years. In recent decades, the authorities have repeatedly called for, publicized, and warned, and there are even signs at the lakeside and the foot of the mountain, warning tourists not to swim in the lake...
But in this world, there are always those daring people who are looking for excitement.
It is said that good words cannot persuade damned ghosts.
Over the years. I don't know how many ghosts have died here... So the evil spirit left behind is getting stronger and stronger?
Thinking in her heart, Chu Keqing walked to the edge of a forest, and suddenly she exclaimed,
The dead branches and leaves on the ground were obviously trampled.
But there was only one trace on the ground, and it disappeared here.
She didn't know that this was the place where the monster that chased Chen Yan was chopped into more than a dozen pieces by Gu Qingyi and turned into black gas.
Chu Keqing squatted down and stretched out her hand to feel on the ground for a while, and suddenly her heart was shocked! !
Her fingers slowly picked up a piece of paper about the size of half a thumb from a dead leaf! !
After taking a look in front of her...it was talisman paper! !
And it was a corner that had not been burned out after burning and releasing the talisman power!
Chu Keqing's body was shocked.
Not only did she recognize that it was talisman paper, she even recognized the origin of this talisman paper!
Before Luo Qing was retaliated by Senior Chen Yan, the talisman used by Chen Yan was made of this kind of talisman paper!
The material is ordinary, and it can only be regarded as common goods in the world of Xuanshu. Chu Keqing once went to the shop that sells this kind of talisman paper to investigate.
"Is it Senior Chen Yan? He killed Shan Kui here?"
Chu Keqing's eyes lit up!
Of course, according to logic, although the talisman paper is the same, there are many people who buy talisman paper, so it may not be Chen Yan who made the move.
However...
She absolutely does not believe that in Jinling City, among the people who use this kind of talisman paper, besides Chen Yan, there is another expert with Taoism.
The probability of that is too small.
Experts who know talisman art are not cabbages.
